[SHOT 2020] An Augmented Reality Sight? The Self-Zeroing Foresight Smart Optic from Meprolight

    Matthew Moss of TFB Reports:

    Meprolight describes their new Foresight optic as an Innovative Augmented Sight. Externally, it doesn’t look much different from Meprolight’s other red dot sights like the M5 Pro, but internally the hard and software is very different. The Mepro Foresight boasts the a number of features that stand out in the red dot market. It offers an almost computer game-like heads up display.

    Not only does the Foresight have a reticle but it also has a compass feature, a leveller and in the near future will also enable round counts to be tracked. The sight is software, rather than hardware, driven with bluetooth connectivity and its own dedicated app – Meprolight, which allows customisation of settings and finer control of the sight’s features. The optic itself weighs 9.9 ounces and is 4.6″ x 2.35″ x 2.68″ in its dimensions.

    Rather than running on a conventional cell battery it uses a rechargeable battery that can be charged with a USB-C cable. The sight without the app comes with 5 in-built reticles but with the app this grows to 10 with customisable settings.The app is currently available on bother apple and android phones. These reticles and various settings can be set to particular rifles to enable zeros with different weapons to be stored on a smartphone. Meptolight also confirm that the sight works well with magnifiers and further updates will arrive in the future.

    The next update is imminent and the most interesting new feature will be the inclusion of a shot counter which will help users track how many rounds you have put through the host gun. The round counter is based on vibration and recoil impulses to provide an accurate round count which might be used for maintenance scheduling. The counter is user defined and will track the round count from use to use of the weapon, even after the sight has been turned off and on with each use. Future features might include an onboard camera or a laser rangefinder built in.
